[0044] In the initial stage of operation of the multi-heat-sink waste heat discharge device, the steam entering the heat exchanger 3 is cooled and condensed by the cooling water stored in the cooling liquid containing body 1, and then flows out from the air-cooled, water-cooled and mixed condensate outlet 341. The flow guide plate 8 divides the cooling water in the descending chamber of the cooling liquid containing body 1 into two parts. The cooling water near the water-cooled heat transfer pipe 33 is heated to boiling, and the generated steam is discharged to the atmosphere through the air outlet pipe 5. The cooling liquid far from the water-cooled heat transfer pipe 33 is supplemented to the side near the water-cooled heat transfer pipe 33 under the action of gravity, forming a local micro-natural circulation of the cooling water and strengthening the convective heat transfer.

[0046] In the long-term operation of the multi-heat-sink residual heat removal device, the cooling liquid in the cooling liquid containing body 1 is boiled and evaporated, and the water-cooled heat transfer pipe 33 is exposed to the atmosphere. Part of the cold air in the descending chamber enters the gas space close to the water-cooled heat transfer pipe 33 under the action of the natural circulation driving force formed by the guide plate 8 and the density difference, and exchanges heat with the steam in the water-cooled heat transfer pipe 33.
